The Torchlight Website announces
the release of Torchlight, the new action/RPG from Runic Games (thanks
A51Abductee). They describe some issues they've had to overcome, which means they
are not offering the playable demo just yet, but the demo can be acquired
through Steam. The full
game is available from Runic Games
as well as GamersGate,
Steam, and
WildTangent. Here's a
bit of the official description of the game:

The adventure is set in the
mining settlement of Torchlight, a boomtown founded on the discovery of rich
veins of Ember – a rare and mysterious ore with the power to enchant or corrupt
all that it contacts. This corruptive power may have dire consequences however,
and players set out into the nearby mountains and depths below to discover the
full extent of Ember’s influence on the civilizations that have come before.

Players will choose from among three character classes, and venture from the
safety of the town of Torchlight into randomly generated dungeon levels, with a
huge variety of creepy monsters, endless variations of loot to find, and quests
to complete. The endless randomization ensures a long-lived gameplay experience.
